Do you need strong center-back talents in the EA FC 25 career mode? Then we have strong center-backs with potential for you.
What defines center-backs in EA FC 25? The central defense closes off the area in front of your goal. Ideally, no one should get past them.
They are often tall to dominate aerial duels or to tackle opposing attackers off the ball.
However, a bit of speed is also required, as the opposing offense will repeatedly try to outpace your center-backs.
Why talents? They are cheaper than established stars but can become just as valuable thanks to their potential. You just need to deploy and train them well in the career mode of EA FC 25. If you succeed, you can:
Use them as starters
Or sell them for a profit
In the lists below, you will first find the center-backs with the highest potential, and in a second list, the cheapest center-back talents with high potential.

What else should you keep in mind? Not only the rating of your players determines whether your team functions well. This year, there is a big focus on tactics and factors like player roles, which determine what your players do when you aren’t controlling them. Placing players in the right roles is an art in itself. Read more about the player roles in EA FC 25 here.

Update: We have updated this article on September 26, 2024.
The participants of 7 vs. Wild are usually diverse and often differ in fitness, prior experience, and the background they come from. In the fourth season of the series, viewers can look forward to a variety of participants.
These participants are taking part in 7 vs. Wild:
Joe Vogel – survival expert
Selfiesandra – comedy influencer
Joey Kelly – outdoor expert
LetsHugo – Twitch streamer

All candidates of 7 vs. Wild introduced
To give you a first impression of the new candidates of 7 vs. Wild, we will briefly introduce all candidates and series founder Fritz Meinecke. We will touch on their “normal lives” and take a look at what prior experiences and survival skills they bring to the series.
Twitch streamer Hugo “LetsHugo” Goedert (21) – The youngest “7 vs. Wild” candidate
In the survival area, the Twitch streamer has hardly any experience, but he should have fewer problems with a period without food as he has previously participated in a “No-Food-Challenge” and tried to go a week without food.

In Throne and Liberty, there are many things to do from the very beginning. However, some activities cost resources that you might want to save for later. We explain what you should pay attention to when starting with the MMORPG.
Who are the tips aimed at? Our 5 tips in this guide are aimed at all beginners who want to make no mistakes with their character. In Throne and Liberty, it is often better to skip certain activities to receive better rewards later.
Of course, you can’t play Throne and Liberty wrong, but sometimes it’s helpful to consciously skip things to benefit later. If you don’t follow one of the tips, your character is not broken, but it may take longer to obtain the perfect gear.
[toc]
Tip No. 1: No Dungeons before Level 50
Why shouldn’t I do that? The biggest trap in the game comes from the main quest. This requires you to complete one of the dungeons in the game as part of one of the side branches. These also provide quite a lot of experience points and upgrade materials.
Although they sound tempting, you shouldn’t open the chest with the loot at the end of the dungeon. Opening the chest costs you “Dimensional Contract Tokens,” a currency you need for looting in dungeons.
Every day you receive 900 tokens. Those who grab it at the beginning may enjoy the loot from the dungeon for a short time, but will later regret it when there are dungeons with endgame loot where your tokens would be better spent.
Here you can learn more about the story of Throne and Liberty:

Tip No. 2: Contracts take time and are only worth it later
What should I consider regarding contracts? Another tip is to avoid doing contracts as much as possible. The contracts are a kind of additional side quest that you are also “forced” into in the main story. Aside from that, it’s better to stay away from them until you have reached the maximum level later.
Here too, the so-called “Contracts Rights” fill up only a little daily, so you should save these to use them at level 50. Later, the contracts simply provide better rewards, and you can do more of them at once when you have saved the necessary currency.
Tip No. 3: If you do contracts, choose the right rewards
Which rewards should I choose? Among the rewards from the contracts, there are always coins included alongside the typical loot that you can use at the nearby vendor. Here, you should primarily buy the “Mystic Keys” with which you can open hidden treasure chests in the open world.
You can only buy 5 “Mystic Keys” per day. Once you have bought your 5 keys, you should use your remaining coins for the upgrade materials for your gear, weapons, and jewelry. You can initially ignore all other items in the shop as they will either only be useful later or never at all.
You also need to be careful with solo dungeons: In Throne and Liberty, you can run through the Taedal’s Tower starting at level 15. There, you fight alone against various bosses that unlock gradually as you reach a higher level and defeat the previous boss.
The bosses provide you with a lot of experience points but are also somewhat challenging, especially if you do them right after reaching the level for their unlock.
You should certainly do these dungeons during your leveling phase, but it’s best to wait until you need to level to 50 for the main story. Then you can defeat almost all bosses without issues and quickly level up through the many experience points.
Tip No. 5: You should regularly visit dungeons in the open world
Why should one regularly visit the dungeons? In the open world dungeons, there is loot, experience points, and many monsters to grind. However, to receive rewards there, you need a different currency, the Abyssal Contract Tokens. These are used in the game to enable you to receive rewards in the open-world dungeon.
You can grind the dungeons alone or with friends and receive loot as long as you have the tokens. But be careful: when night falls, the open-world dungeons in Throne and Liberty become a path area, and entire guilds are just waiting to take you down. If you play at night, you can also easily reach the maximum level with our level guide: Throne and Liberty level up: With these tips, you will easily reach level 50

The maintenance and regular upgrading of one’s equipment are part of the hero’s daily life in Throne and Liberty. If you approach this task incorrectly, you will waste both time and money. Therefore, MeinMMO provides you with some tips for upgrading equipment.
How does equipment progression work in Throne and Liberty? During your adventure, you will automatically come across weapons and equipment of different quality levels. Alternatively, you can also acquire them through the auction house (only from level 40), receive them as a reward for a quest in the lithography book, or craft them.
Genre-typical items have different quality levels. The simple rule: Purple (Epic) is better than Blue (Rare) is better than Green (Uncommon). By using materials, all equipment pieces can be upgraded multiple times. The maximum level of an item depends on its quality:
green items can be upgraded to a maximum of level 6
blue items can reach level 9
purple weapons and armor can go up to level 12
Do I have to start from scratch with each upgrade? No! For each item, you can transfer upgrades from a green item to a blue upgrade once, or from a blue item to a purple one.
Moreover, it is possible to transfer the upgraded levels of an epic item to another epic counterpart. This way, you also build up a blessing that is important for upgrading traits (more on that below).
The big advantage: Such a transfer costs only a few Sollant (the standard currency of the game) instead of upgrade materials, which become increasingly rare with each quality level.
[toc]
Tip No. 1: Work patiently from green to blue to purple
Our first recommendation for all equipment slots: First, bring a green piece of your choice to level 6, then transfer it to your desired blue upgrade (which will then have level 3). After that, bring the blue equipment piece to its maximum level of 9, only to then forward these upgrades to the epic counterpart (which then reaches level 6).
Bringing a blue or even purple equipment piece to the respective maximum level without such a transfer is significantly more labor-intensive and expensive in any case.
Additional Tip: If you only have green growth stones lying around on your account but only need higher-level ones, you can convert them with blacksmith NPCs. This will also cost you Sollant and additional materials.
Guilds are extremely important in Throne and Liberty, here are some reasons:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: Trailer introduces you to the guild system
Tip No. 2: MinMaxers should find an ambitious guild
If you want to equip your character in Throne and Liberty as effectively as possible, you absolutely need access to certain PvP activities and the world bosses. One reason: Only through a few activities like castle sieges or tax transport events can you earn real-money currency Luzent outside the auction house.
The other reason: Some of the best weapons in the game drop from the world bosses. If you have to acquire these through the auction house, you will have to pay a lot of Luzent. As part of an ambitious guild, you can farm world bosses (thus earning the weapons for free) or secure a regular income of Luzent through guild PvP events.
Decide as early as possible which weapons you want to plunge into the endgame with.
Tip No. 3: Decide on two weapons as early as possible
In principle, you can try out the seven weapon types of Throne and Liberty as you wish and always combine two of the peacekeepers. Practically, however, you should decide on a combination of two weapons as early as possible that you want to play deep into the endgame. The reasons for this:
You must level and unlock all weapons and their abilities individually.
The weapons benefit differently from the stats that your character and its equipment possess. If you change the weapon, you actually have to redistribute your stats (which is not a problem) and usually procure a completely new equipment compilation tailored to the new weapons (which is labor-intensive and expensive).
First, we need to clarify some basic information: Equipment pieces in Throne and Liberty have three slots for so-called traits. This includes stats like melee hit chance, ranged hit chance, magic hit chance, increased crit chance, melee evasion, or attack speed. However, each item has only a selection of traits it can possess.
You can extract the traits of an item (this destroys the equipment piece) and pack them into a suitable item or sell them through the auction house (various equipment pieces and weapons cannot be sold in the auction house). It is also possible to upgrade each trait of an item multiple times (more on this in Tip No. 5).
To unlock a trait slot, you need a suitable trait item or a copy of the equipment piece on which you want to unlock the slot, with the correct trait. By unlocking the slot, the used trait will go into the new slot or the trait that was in the corresponding slot position on the equipment copy.
Which way is cheaper? In most cases, the raw trait item in the auction house is likely to be significantly cheaper than a complete equipment piece with the matching trait.
The alternative: Through certain activities, you can earn unlock stones for trait slots in limited quantities, for example through tasks in the lithography book. However, these are so rare that you should absolutely NOT waste them on any common equipment pieces.
Our recommendation: Use the stones to unlock the traits of a particularly strong weapon (such as a world boss weapon) or for traits that are particularly expensive in the auction house.
Start video
Throne and Liberty shows the character editor and shapeshifting in the new trailer
Tip No. 5 for upgrading traits
What about upgrading traits? For this, you do not need a copy of the same item, but just any item for the corresponding slot that has the respective trait and the same quality level.
You can also use items with a lower quality for upgrading traits. However, the chance of a successful trait upgrade will no longer be 100 percent. For example, if you sacrifice a blue pair of pants to improve your purple leg protection, the chance of success drops to only ten percent (with a green piece, it would only be one percent).
By failing upgrade attempts, you build up a stackable blessing that you can invest at any time to increase the chance of a successful upgrade (up to 100 percent). If you are lucky and obtain the upgrade early, you can then invest the accumulated blessing into the next upgrade immediately.
Warning: Once you confirm that you want to use your blessing, it will be gone afterward – regardless of whether the subsequent upgrade was successful or not.
Our recommendation: Depending on the prices in the auction house (and your luck), it may be significantly cheaper for you to perform a trait upgrade for a purple item using several blue equipment pieces than if you buy a significantly more expensive epic and receive the upgrade immediately.
What else do I need to know about Throne and Liberty? Throne and Liberty is set to be released on October 1, 2024, for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. There will be crossplay between platforms. The MMORPG will want to finance itself through in-game shop, battle pass, real-money currencies, and the sale of early access packages (starting from September 26, 2024).

Do you want strong talents for your winger positions in EA FC 25 Career Mode? Then look for LM, LF, RM, RF with a lot of potential.
What are LM, LF, RM, RF? These are the winger positions in your team. So left and right midfield as well as left and right wing.
These players often stand out with high speed and strong dribbling but should also be able to score or assist goals themselves. This especially applies to the attacking LF and RM.
For the LM and RM, who are more located in midfield, it can be helpful to also have defensive stability.
Why talents? Talents are still capable of improving in the EA FC 25 Career Mode and do not cost that much money. If you develop young talents with a lot of potential into world stars, you can:
Either use them as regular players.
Or sell them profitably.
What are these lists? In the lists below, you will first find the talents with the highest potential, followed by affordable talents that you can acquire cheaply.

After the end of the anime of Dragon Ball: Super, the manga continued the story. Now, the head of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero explains whether some of the new characters from the manga will make it into his game on Steam.
Which characters are involved? The Dragon Ball: Super manga has a total of 103 chapters by March 2024. The storylines covered in the anime up to the end of the Tournament of Power and concerning the fate of the universe only include the chapters up to 42. The remaining 61 chapters tell a total of four story arcs that have not yet been animated or dubbed.
Accordingly, a whole lot of new characters appear in them. Specifically, the 10 million-year-old Star Eater Moro and Granolah, the last survivor of the Cerealian people, would be exciting candidates for the latest game.
Regarding whether characters that have only appeared in the manga will also make it into Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, producer Jun Furutani has now spoken. Some of the characters that have already been confirmed for the game can be seen in the trailer:
Start video
DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO in the trailer
Adapting manga characters? Difficult.
Will the characters come to the game? In an interview with IGN, Jun Furutani is asked whether characters from the manga will make it into Dragon Ball Super. Specifically, the interviewer asks if Moro and Granolah could make it into the game. They are two of the most exciting new characters.
Furutani responds to this, somewhat defensively:
The short answer is that it is difficult for him to talk about these things. Yeah, yeah. Due to various situations. I’m sure you understand that.
Furthermore, they do not address the question in the interview but instead turn directly to other topics.
What are possible reasons for the response? In an article on the topic, The Gamer suggests several theories. Primarily, it is suspected that the early death of Akira Toriyama, the creator of the series, continues to have a strong influence on the production of all Dragon Ball products like anime, manga, and games.
As Moro and Granolah have also never been animated and do not have their own voice actors in any language, the adaptation hurdle could be further increased: Games like Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero draw their inspiration from the manga template but primarily from the anime series and films.
To ensure that the series, movies, and games fit together, the games hire existing voice actors whenever possible. In Japan, but of course also overseas. If no voice actors for characters have been selected yet, the casting effort falls back on the development team of the game.

Dealing with the large corporation of Genshin Impact is not easy when it comes to leaks. The publisher Cognosphere now wants to disclose users on X.
How is Genshin tackling leaks? The publisher of Genshin Impact, Cognosphere, has summoned several users from X.com in 2023 for copyright infringement for sharing unpublished information about Genshin Impact.
In pursuit of this copyright infringement, Cognosphere urged X.com to reveal the true identities of the users. The publisher of the gacha game suspects that behind the various accounts, there is only one user.
However, Elon Musk’s corporation refused to disclose the identities and wanted the demand to be reviewed by the court. It cited the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech. The California court has now ruled against X.com’s objection.
Meanwhile, players are enjoying the new area in Genshin Impact:

Has the publisher of Genshin Impact won?
What is the situation in court? The state of California ruled in favor of the Chinese company. Now the company X Corp. is under pressure again. Judge Peter H. Kang, who announced the verdict, is also upset. He criticizes that the objection from X Corp.’s lawyers only unnecessarily delayed the process.
Cognosphere’s request was justified, the California court stated. Unpublished content published by users is not protected speech under the First Amendment, according to Judge Kang. This gives the publishers of Genshin Impact at least the upper hand in this case.
What happens next? The court urges the corporations to meet in person to discuss the matter, so that no constant court intervention is necessary. The parties should strive for a cooperative solution to find an economic, efficient, and appropriate consequence for the users’ actions on X.
For five years, Ubisoft titles were only available on the Epic Games Store and not on Steam. Now Ubisoft has announced that they plan to have the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows at the beginning of February 2025 also available at Valve from day one. One reason for this could be the poor performance of Star Wars Outlaws.
After that, Ubisoft titles were only available on consoles and in the Epic Games Store. The reason: While Steam takes a 30 percent cut from sales, Epic Games only takes around 12 percent.

Star Wars Outlaws introduces the underworld of the galaxy
Future Ubisoft games will be available on Steam at release again
Ubisoft has announced that they will also have the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows available simultaneously in the Valve Store, and they will do the same with their future games.
Why is Ubisoft returning to Valve? At the end of 2022, things changed as some Ubisoft titles returned to Steam. Two years after its release, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla appeared in the Valve Store. Following that were Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Extraction.
They also confirmed that the sales figures for Star Wars Outlaws were not what they had hoped for. In a transcribed conference, the game manufacturer stated that the release of Star Wars Outlaws performed weaker than they initially expected.
Star Wars Outlaws will be available on Steam earlier than expected, namely on November 21, 2024. It is suspected that the mediocre success of the game is to blame.
In Warhammer 40,000, everything is bigger: the soldiers, the wars, the weapons. Space Marine 2 is no exception. The world exaggerates with completely oversized cannons. Still, a primitive bug species breaches the defenses. How can this be? A player wonders, and the community explains why this is possible according to the lore.
What’s the deal with the Tyranids?
Tyranids are somewhat like bug aliens whose only goal is to consume all biomass and reproduce. They are also the inspiration for Zergs in Starcraft.
They invade planets and destroy everything they can use before moving on. In Space Marine 2, they are initially the main threat.
In the lore of Warhammer 40k, the Tyranids have completely destroyed parts of the universe. If you need some tutoring: Here’s a summary of the lore for Space Marine 2.
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 shows you the Tyranids
That’s why the Tyranids are such a huge threat: A user on Reddit finds piles of huge cannons, all ready for use, in a mission in Space Marine 2. He wants to know: How can it be that the Tyranids get past such a defense?
The community helps, and just a few hours later, there are over 1,000 comments with explanations. One user sums it up: “Numbers overwhelm the defense.”
Tyranids simply throw so many of their own creatures against the human defenders until they either run out of ammunition or until the mechanics are clogged with blood and body parts. Literally.
In one of the missions of Space Marine 2, you can even experience this tactic live and must prevent the Tyranids from succeeding. Another fan draws a comparison to real life:
Can you defeat a rat in a fight? Sure. How about a million rats?
However, the numbers of the Tyranids do not just reach the millions but go far beyond. In Warhammer 40,000, there are indeed so many Tyranids that they cannot be counted anymore. Their number is legion.
Saboteurs weaken the defense from within – years before the invasion
The users explain further: When the imperial army or even the Space Marines appear, the goal is no longer to repel the attack and save the planet. The goal then is just to get as many people to safety as possible and hold the invasion at bay for as long as possible before giving up the planet. It really gets tough when the Deathwatch has to show up.
A few more users provide additional insights into the lore of Warhammer 40,000. For the Tyranids themselves are not the only threat from the outside; the cults that some humans follow contribute significantly to the danger.
The “Genestealers” are humans who support Xenos, or aliens, and are dominated by the eponymous “Genestealers” of the Tyranids. This type of Tyranid infects humans, who, through the infection, desperately want to reproduce and spread the infection further.
In broad terms: Over generations, the humans become more and more like Tyranids, subject to the control of the swarm consciousness. These then infiltrate leadership positions within the Imperium to weaken the defense from there and prepare for an invasion.
This happens sometimes decades before an attack, as one user explains. There are even cases where Space Marines have been affected by this infection. Some fans regret that this Genestealer cult is not getting more attention in the game. However, it now has a significant appearance in the Warhammer role-playing game: The role-playing game for Warhammer 40k on Steam gives me exactly what I’m missing in Space Marine 2

The servers in Throne and Liberty give no indication of which has the most German players. However, the communities have already decided. We will reveal which server is likely the best fit for you.
What servers are there? The developers of Throne and Liberty have already revealed that there will be eight servers available at launch in early access in Europe. The servers will be named as follows:
Lightbringer
Kazar
Conquest
Ember
Zenith
Talus
Wraith
Bellandir
In addition to the eight servers, three more servers will open over the weekend and on Monday. The three servers will be named:
Ezekiel
Quillix
Lycan
There is no exact date for the openings. The developers at Amazon Game Studios are observing the load and will then decide when the right time is.
Here you can learn more about the guilds in Throne and Liberty:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: Trailer introduces you to the guild system
This is where Germans play
Which will be the German server? There probably won’t be a proper German server where all German players meet. For that, the developers would have to name one of the servers DE-1 or something similar. However, the German-speaking communities and guilds have coordinated in advance and decided to go to the Wraith server.
On the unofficial German community Discord server, over 10 guilds and alliances as well as other groups have expressed their interest in Wraith. In second place is the Tallus server, where some German-speaking guilds also want to play.
All other servers currently do not seem to be a consideration for the German community. Some German streamers have also reportedly announced they will play on Wraith.
What about PlayStation? Those who play Throne and Liberty on PlayStation have, in addition to the regular servers, also a server that is available only to other PlayStation players. There, the game will likely be relatively free of bots and cheaters, but not many players will probably speak German.
What about one of the free servers? Those who do not want to spend money on Throne and Liberty can start on a fresh server on Tuesday. There, everyone will be at the same level. However, there is still no clear German server among those starting on Monday.
According to the announcement from the developers, all free players can also play on the servers that are available for early access (via playthroneandliberty.com). So you can also start on the Wraith server as a free player on Tuesday.
If you are not satisfied with your server choice, you don’t have to start over right away. Until October 17, you have the opportunity to change servers for free twice a day. But be careful: If you downgrade from a server that is full, you may not be able to return to that one. So make sure that you really don’t want to play on your server anymore before switching.
Today, starting from September 26, 2024, you can pre-order the PS5 Pro. We will reveal the details and explain what you should know about the PS5 Pro.
When and where can you buy or pre-order the PS5 Pro? If you didn’t get a PS5 Pro today, there are still chances: According to Sony, the extended pre-sale is set to start on October 10, 2024, with the release scheduled for November 7, 2024. From October 10, 2024, you will have another chance with additional retailers like Amazon, MediaMarkt-Saturn, and other Sony partners.
You can find all options and how you can buy a PS5 Pro in the following, further article on MeinMMO:
Update, 26.09.24, 12:41 PM: We are concluding our coverage regarding the pre-order at this point. Otherwise, we will be back when the further pre-sale starts with other retailers on October 10, 2024.
Update, 26.09.24, 12:38 PM: Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro is also shown as no longer available directly in the shop. This suggests that all consoles are sold out.
Currently, the PS5 Pro is no longer available.
Update, 26.09.24, 12:16 PM: According to PlayStation Direct, you can still order the PS5 Pro. If not, stay tuned, as Sony is likely to release more allocations.
We would also like to point out again that starting from October 10, 2024, pre-orders for the PS5 Pro should also start with other retailers (Amazon, MediaMarkt-Saturn, etc.). The price is identical to that at Sony: 799.99 euros.
Update, 26.09.24, 12:06 PM: The waiting times are currently very short. You do not need to wait longer than 10 minutes to buy a PS5 Pro right now. At least that was the case for us just now. If you definitely want to have a PS5 Pro, it is worth queuing. Currently, several sources still report that there are consoles available. If the PS5 Pro sells out, please be patient:
Update, 26.09.24, 11:56 AM: Some users report that the queue is glitching. However, this seems to be just a display error. If the waiting time jumps from 5 to 10 minutes and back again, do not worry.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:46 AM: A bit poorly managed: Whether the PS5 Pro is really available, you only see after logging in with your PlayStation account in the shop. Otherwise, it just shows the red button with “Pre-order.”
Update, 26.09.24, 11:35 AM: Generally, if you line up again now, you will have to wait between 15 and 20 minutes. Allegedly, you can still buy the PS5 Pro. However, we can’t guarantee that your order won’t be canceled later because Sony made a booking error.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:25 AM: Sony seems to be restocking: just now, the PS5 Pro was again available and could also be ordered. If the PS5 Pro is not available to you, switch to the main page of PlayStation Direct and then back to the PS5 Pro topic page and then to your shopping cart.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:20 AM: Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro is also no longer available. In the shop, it is still offered for pre-order, but once you want to pay, it will show as “not in stock”:
Update, 26.09.24, 11:10 AM: For those who are not yet aware: You can only buy the PS5 Pro as a Digital Edition. The PS5 Pro does not include a disc drive. If you want to use discs, you must absolutely buy a drive. Currently, the drive is sold out at PlayStation Direct.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:05 AM: The PS5 Pro is still available and can be purchased for 799 euros directly at PlayStation Direct. The special editions are now sold out, but you can still order the DualSense controller in the anniversary design for 79.99.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:00 AM: The queue is still ongoing. Colleagues report that the “Anniversary Edition” is now sold out, but the regular PS5 Pro is still available.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:45 AM: The waiting time has suddenly improved significantly. From 40 minutes, it has dropped to 20 and now to 15 minutes.
However, this is not necessarily a good sign. Usually this means: Interested customers enter the shop, find no more offers, and close the page again. As a result, more waiting people get ahead in line.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:34 AM: The queue is still open, which at least suggests that there could still be consoles available. Our waiting times are fluctuating between 30 and 60 minutes. If you want to try your luck, here is the link to Sony:
We will keep you updated should there be any news.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:15 AM: The sale for the PS5 Pro and the Anniversary Edition is allegedly still ongoing. At least the queue is still open, and you can still line up.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:03 AM: The sale has started, and you are now being shown waiting times at PlayStation Direct. We can’t say whether the interested customers are all “only” interested in the highly limited “30th Anniversary” edition of the PS5 or if everyone wants to buy the PS5 Pro.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:00 AM: Currently, the waiting queue at PlayStation Direct is still on hold. We are waiting for the start and will inform you as soon as it begins.
Update, 26.09.24, 09:30 AM: Meanwhile, Sony has set up a waiting queue on PlayStation Direct, as there is reportedly a “high customer volume on our website” according to Sony.
Update, 26.09.24, 09:00 AM: There is also bad news: If you are interested in the limited “30th Anniversary” edition of the PS5 Pro, you should hurry: According to Sony, the model is limited to 12,300 units. We wouldn’t be surprised if you could buy the devices from scalpers in a month or two for double or triple the price.
We will continue to keep you informed on MeinMMO.

The creator of Final Fantasy presents a brand new RPG for Steam and PS5. In it, the world is threatened by a virus that transforms humans into emotionless machines.
What game is it about? The game in question is Fantasian Neo Dimension, the new JRPG by Hironobu Sakaguchi. He is primarily known as the creator of the Final Fantasy series. Nobuo Uematsu, who composed the music for the games, is also involved in the project.
Fantasian Neo Dimension tells an independent story where the world is threatened by a mechanical virus. Mechteria, as the infection is called, first takes away humans’ emotions and then their lives.
Publisher Square Enix has released a trailer on YouTube that introduces the main characters and shows the first gameplay.
Here you can watch the trailer:

Hinter diesem RPG für Steam und PS5 steht der Erfinder von Final Fantasy
What does the trailer show? The protagonist of the game is Leo. One day he wakes up from a massive explosion but remembers nothing except for his name. He then embarks on a quest for his lost memories.
Classic JRPG with beautiful dioramas
On his journey, Leo is initially accompanied by Kina and Cheryl, who you also see in the trailer. Over time, more characters will join you. The gameplay strongly resembles classic JRPGs, with battles occurring in a turn-based manner just like in the old Final Fantasy games.
The game world consists of handcrafted dioramas through which 3D characters move, as the publisher reveals on square-enix-games.com. From dense forests to dry deserts and “less conventional regions”, everything is supposed to be included.
When will the game be released? Fantasian Neo Dimension is set to release on December 5, 2024, on Steam, PS5 and PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch. By the way, you can already play it through the Apple Arcade subscription, where it was released in 2021.
When introducing ArcheAge Chronicles, something was missing: the genre designation “MMORPG”. Instead, the developers referred to it as an online action RPG, following an unusual trend.
What stands out: On almost all official channels, the responsible parties from Kakao Games and XLGAMES use the genre designation “online action RPG”. This surprises many fans of the genre, as illustrated by this Reddit discussion.
Only on the external product pages of Steam or epicgames.com are there still MMO designations and concrete references to the MMORPG genre.
You can check out the first gameplay of ArcheAge Chronicles here:

ArcheAge Chronicles: Trailer shows for the first time the successor to ArcheAge
What does it say on Steam and Co.? It states, for example: “ArcheAge Chronicles goes beyond traditional MMORPG mechanics with its seamless and detailed battles.” And: “Embark on an adventure in ArcheAge Chronicles and experience the next evolutionary level of the MMORPG genre.”
We are not talking about “you know what”
Does this sound familiar to me? There are definitely more developers avoiding the MMORPG term for quite some time, as if Lord Voldemort himself were the creator of the genre. The two most prominent examples:
Already two years earlier, the developers had already explained that they are moving away from a pure MMO gaming experience to create a unique single-player and multiplayer experience reminiscent of GTA V and GTA Online or Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Online. Whether this is still the current state is unclear. Recent presentations were purely single-player focused.

What about New World Aeternum and ArcheAge Chronicles? Similar to the new version of New World, we can expect a real MMORPG with ArcheAge Chronicles. In November 2023, the developers stated that there will be dungeons, battles for caravans, and guild wars over strongholds. Housing and a player-driven economy are also firmly planned.
The two games have even more in common:
The respective developers emphasize a significantly larger story focus than before in New World and the first ArcheAge. Many contents of both games are also specifically aimed at solo players and small groups.
With Aeternum, New World will debut on consoles. ArcheAge Chronicles is also set to launch from the start for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
That the latter is an important factor was acknowledged by Game Director Scot Lane after the Aeternum announcement. In a Q&A session, he explained (via YouTube):
Well, you can still play Aeternum the way you always have, but due to all the changes we have made to the story, the way we tell the story, the way our camera and combat navigation works, we feel that we traverse so many genres, but this firmly pushes us into the ARPG realm, which is a bit more recognized on consoles.
As MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV, The Elder Scrolls Online, Neverwinter, or Black Desert have been available on consoles for years, this assessment seems to be somewhat incomprehensible at first glance.
How does MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz assess this? Large developers and publishers like XLGAMES, Kakao Games, or Amazon Games usually make essential, strategic decisions based on their analyses and statistics. It seems quite certain that such data indicate: With online action RPGs, you address a larger target audience nowadays.
Moreover, the MMORPG term now carries a lot of baggage.
In the past nearly 20 years, most MMORPGs have failed or at least fallen short of original expectations.
As a new MMORPG, you automatically expose yourself to comparisons with WoW, FFXIV, ESO, Guild Wars 2, and others. Sooner or later, the question “What do you get for your money?” means that newly released titles inevitably come up short.
With the MMORPG term come expectations regarding content, but also concerns about time requirements, onboarding efforts, or a compulsion to multiplayer.

Marques Brownlee is a star on YouTube, but currently, he is stirring up debates with an app for screen backgrounds, and he has now responded.
Who is selling wallpapers for how much? Panels, that’s the name of a new app that you can download from the iOS and Android app stores. The tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee introduced this app to his nearly 230 million followers and the general public on September 24, 2024 – however, he is receiving hardly any positive feedback, rather the complete opposite.

What does the app offer? The basic idea is the following: Are you looking for screen backgrounds for PC, smartphone, or tablet? Then you can download 1080p versions of wallpapers for free via Brownlee’s app. However, you will have to watch one or more ads per download first.
You can also buy individual collections in high resolution for about 7 euros directly or sign up for a subscription, which, even at a significant discount, costs around 45 euros a year.
Just like Brownlee, the head of Artesian Builds ruined himself with a single decision:

What annoys people the most?X user Shea summarizes the issues with the prices and more clearly and receives a lot of agreement for it:
The app requires access to the device’s location
Terrible design and animations
Ads are ubiquitous
50 dollars per year for the subscription
The wallpapers are not even really good
Ultimately, the sober conclusion is: Marques has lost my respect.
I just can’t wrap my head around how someone can build a top reputation in the tech scene over the years and then destroy it virtually overnight. And all this for a piece of crap wallpaper app that is riddled with ads, tracks location, and costs 11.99 US dollars per month. What the hell?
How does Marques Brownlee respond? He pledges improvement. Via X, he addressed his followers. First, the team behind the app wants to address the privacy settings, including the currently necessary location request. This was not intended. The premium prices will be monitored and adjusted, while initially, the ads in the free version will be reduced somewhat.
Is that enough for the fans? Currently, it is hard to assess, but the trend suggests a failure of the app – at least regarding Reddit, X, and Co. Because even the unofficial forum for the YouTuber on Reddit is overflowing with memes. His former fans are particularly upset with the attempt to charge money for something that can be downloaded for free in bulk. For many, it smells like blatant scam targeting inexperienced internet users.

In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 good weapons are essential. Once you have found your preferred weapon, it’s time to upgrade. We will explain how you can do that.
How do I upgrade weapons in Space Marine 2? You can upgrade your weapons using armor chamber data and experience. This means you need to play with the weapon for a while before you can upgrade it with the armor chamber data.
Once you have filled the XP bar of a weapon, you can upgrade it to the next level. To do this, you need to spend the armor chamber data you collected in the armory. This will unlock the next level.
(Standard)
Masterful
Artful
Relic
In the video, we explain how to activate co-op and crossplay in Space Marine 2:

Armor chamber data to upgrade your weapon
How does armor chamber data work? Armor chamber data comes in different rarities. This changes depending on the difficulty level you are playing:
Difficulty level 1 and 2: green
Difficulty level 3: purple
Difficulty level 4: gold
Green armor chamber data unlocks the upgrades for the “Masterful” level, purple unlocks “Artful,” and you need golden armor chamber data for the “Relic” level.
Where can I find armor chamber data? While completing missions, you can find armor chamber data. They spawn at fixed positions in the level and you can recognize them by the red skull. There are fixed spawn points where the armor chamber data can appear.
Look around carefully, as they are not always easy to spot. In the campaign or in the “Eternal War” game mode, you cannot obtain armor chamber data.
If you are playing with other players, it doesn’t matter who picks up the armor chamber data. It will be credited to all players from the mission, provided the mission is successfully completed.
Warning: With armor chamber data, you have an inventory cap of 20. If you already have 20 armor chamber data in your possession, you cannot carry any more. So make sure to upgrade your weapons regularly to always have enough space in your inventory.
Can you farm armor chamber data? If you play on a higher difficulty, the number of collectible armor chamber data increases from one to two. You can find and collect one data set as usual in the level, and you will receive the other when you defeat a boss.
Once you have found the right weapon for you, it is definitely worth investing in its upgrades. This way, they gain more power in combat. If you are still unsure about your weapon choice, perhaps our tier list can help you: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2: Tier List of the best weapons

MeinMMO demon Cortyn enjoys the depths in World of Warcraft. But with a little trick, they are almost ridiculously easy – you just have to be a tank.
The depths of World of Warcraft: The War Within were not optimal at the launch of the expansion. The balancing was not “a bit odd” – it was complete chaos. Enemies lost health points as soon as you joined a group and both the depths and Brann scaled completely differently depending on the specialization.
This led to very different player experiences. Some could barely defeat a single enemy in a depth of level 8, while others could simply pull everything together and “bomb it down” without their own health points ever being scratched.
In the meantime, the balancing has improved and the depths offer a consistently solid experience – at least for almost everyone.
Because there is still one weakness: As a tank, it feels like cheating.
Start video
WoW: The War Within – Shadows Beneath the Surface
Tanks can hardly fail in the depths
I got the tip from a friend in the guild who said: “I just did a level 8 depth with my warrior, who has item level 540, it was super easy.”
A depth of level 8 is actually designed for item level 600. A solid 60 item levels below, one should especially kiss the ground and only search for better equipment.
Since I had just leveled a warrior to 80, I thought: “I will take a look for myself.” So I logged onto my warrior, bought her a cheap shield so she also just reached item level 550, and just set off.
Well, what can I say: It is almost ridiculous how easy the depths are as a tank.
Where I as a shadow priest would have to be careful not to pull two groups at the same time, I can simply pull everything together and defeat it as a warrior with poor equipment. Slowly, but guaranteed without ever running the risk of dying myself.
Some will surely write in the comments: “It’s clear, everything is easy solo as tanks, duh.”
But that was not the idea behind the depths. The original idea was that depths should provide an engaging challenge for solo players – regardless of the specialization they start with. As a tank, that is simply not the case.
I don’t know how Blizzard could balance the whole thing so that it’s an interesting experience for tanks that offers similar difficulty to DPS specializations. The levers that can be adjusted are simply very limited:
If the damage from automatic attacks is too high, tanks simply cannot make it since self-healing and healing from Brann are relatively clearly limited.
Even more health points would just prolong the depth further – as a tank, it already takes a long time.
The only option I spontaneously see is to increase the lethality of the mobs’ special ability. That is, spells and abilities that almost directly lead to death for other classes would also work that way for tanks. Because in most cases – with a few exceptions – a tank can simply stand in those abilities and completely ignore them.
However, this very combination of circumstances also leads to another problem: Depths as a tank are incredibly boring. While nothing can kill you, everything just takes forever. It is very easy, but also tedious.
So if you want strong loot from the generous depths or want to have several items with item level 616 to choose from for the upcoming Wednesday from the big treasure chamber – just play your character as a tank. It may not be particularly fast, but you are nearly invincible if you don’t make gross mistakes. Although depths are currently so lucrative, extremely many people play Mythic+.

The launch of Throne and Liberty is approaching, and the hype surrounding the game has reached its peak today at the latest. The game has landed in 1st place among the best-selling games on Steam, and it will be free starting Tuesday.
How does that work? If you check the best-selling games in Germany on Steam today, you’ll see the new MMORPG Throne and Liberty in 1st place with the price “Free” right next to it.
On Steam, games can also become “top sellers” even if they have no direct price, but instead generate revenue through other packages. For example, the free Counter-Strike 2 is also on the list, as it only sells the Prime Status upgrade.
Here you can learn more about the story of Throne and Liberty:

Throne and Liberty: New Story Trailer Shows the Fall of the Kingdom
Thanks to early access, it’s number one
What do players buy in Throne and Liberty? The new MMORPG Throne and Liberty officially launches on October 1st on Steam and consoles. However, those who want to start earlier can secure so-called early access packages.
These cost between €39.99 and €99.97 and grant everyone access to the game on their own servers as early as September 26th. The packages also offer all cosmetic items and some packages include premium currency for the game.
Why do players buy the packages? The reason for the high number of sales likely lies less with the skins and more with the earlier access to the game. The hype surrounding Throne and Liberty is high, and many do not want to wait until Tuesday.
Moreover, players who start earlier cannot switch to the servers of the free players, allowing for a fair PvP experience. This likely creates a desire in some to join in and start together on the early start server. Many guilds are also starting on the early start servers.
How big will Throne and Liberty be? It’s always difficult to predict how large the influx to the MMORPG will really be. While the Reddit forum only has 21,000 members and there are only about 46,000 members on the official Discord server, the trailer for the preview event reached over 650,000 people on YouTube.
The hardcore mode in Diablo 4 punishes you for every mistake. This was something a player had to learn, who blindly trusted someone. A nasty trick from the past cost him his character and thus many hours of gameplay.
For many players, this is precisely what makes games like Diablo appealing. However, one player has fallen for a dirty trick that caused problems 20 years ago.
Start video
Blizzard summarizes the story of Diablo 4 in the video
This is what happened to the player: On Reddit, the user EfficientChair4487 posts a clip where he steps through the portal of another player. Without really paying attention to where he is exiting, he activates the portal.
After a short loading screen, he finds himself in the Fields of Hatred, the open PvP zone of Diablo 4. There, he is immediately greeted by a wizard who showers him with firewalls and kills him within a second.
Especially nasty: The character was already at level 93. So, many hours have gone into it, and it is particularly difficult to reach high levels in hardcore.
Within a few hours, the post has gathered over 600 comments. However, the user receives little sympathy – the Diablo community is very well accustomed to such scenes from the past.
Players write: Even in Diablo 2, there was the “TPPK,” short for: Town Portal Player Kill. Someone invites a teammate and opens a portal to a zone where the other dies immediately, often just for the fun of griefing.
In the comments, users are wondering why anyone would play hardcore with such things in mind. The response from more experienced players: Because it’s just part of it.
The user who just lost his character can learn from this and surely won’t make this mistake again. In general, you shouldn’t blindly trust anyone in hardcore mode that you have never seen before.
For many, hardcore is now the better way to play Diablo 4. It feels like this is the mode for which Diablo 4 was intended and is much more rewarding. jRomz writes about it:
Once you’ve played hardcore, softcore feels pointless. In softcore, you just turn off your brain and mindlessly slaughter demons […] In hardcore, you are always in the thick of it and have to pay attention to the monsters and what they are doing. Choosing equipment and defenses is much more important. This brings a different dimension to the game and is very enjoyable.
